Why do so many on our side want to do it the hard way? Dolan? Easy win. DeSantis? Better chance to win 2 terms. Trump? Death match to win 1 term.
Because we apparently want revenge, and sticking it to the Dems with the man they hate most will send them into apoplexy. That’s the only reason of which I can think.

Deadenders on both sides control the primaries.
Unfortunately their deadenders win more often than our deadenders.

Mark your calendars. Monday the 25th, Susquehanna releasing their most recent PA poll. Last time they found what I hope was an outlier, Biden 47, Trump 39. Absolutely the worst poll for Trump in that state, by far.
They did tease some of the data they collected in this poll, saying that Biden’s job approval in this poll is 39/55, with indies at 44/46.
I have no record that they released job approval data in their January poll.
The most recent Emerson College poll of PA found: “President Biden holds a 38% job approval among Pennsylvania voters and a 55% job disapproval.” Nearly identical to the finding in the forthcoming Susquehanna poll.
Emerson found Trump ahead 52/48 with leaners.
I would guess from this that Susquehanna will have to show a ‘tightened’ race compared to their January poll, probably a tie or close to it.

The path of least resistance doesn’t always get you where you want to go. There is a definite populist trend going on, where people are no longer content with just going along to get along. Rather they want a change to happen reflective of “the people” not “the establishment.”

I really have no idea why this stuff is so hard to understand. If its a deep red state, then sure, you expect the more conservative candidate to emerge from the primary to run for US Senate, and rightfully so. But if its a purple state, you have to be strategic in your candidate, one who is as conservative as possible without putting the election at risk. If you are in a deep blue state, you are thrilled every time a Hogan, or Castle, or someone like that comes along to give you a shot at one you almost never get.
Its really that simple folks. Just use the old grey matter a little.

Frankly, I don’t “expect the more conservative candidate” to emerge, I prefer the best and most qualified to emerge.
Besides, the “rightfully so” argument doesn’t hold water.
Roy Moore was the “most conservative” and he lost to a Marxist union hall lawyer in a deep red state in Alabama.
Mourdock was the “most conservative” and he lost in deep red Indiana.
That idiot in Alaska, Joe Miller, was the “most conservative” lost to a write-in candidate.
Rs should stop sending messages and stop nominating deadenders.
It’s really that simple folks.

Thanks, Vic. I entered my bracket. Dave used to just pick Villanova to win every year. The irony is that the HHR Bracket stopped before 2016 and 2018 when Villanova did win it all.

The “most conservative” could be a moron like Joe Miller, who actually said East Germany was a model for border control.
He forgot to mention the East Germans only built walls to keep people from leaving and only shot those trying to get out.

jason, I would adamantly assert that Roy Moore, Mourdock, Joe Miller, et. al., were NOT true conservatives in the mold of Reagan. They were nut cases who had no business being in the race whatsoever. I reject the notion that the natural end of moving further to the right is lunacy.
There are loons out there who dabble at politics, acting in part like either a liberal or conservative, so as to gain a following.
The thrust of my point is that in a state like Alabama, or Oklahoma, you expect a valid candidate to emerge from the GOP primary, someone with a solid record, and they are probably going to be strongly pro-life, and family values. They reflect the conservatives in the state.
The fact that sometimes voters go for a Roy Moore says more about the stupidity of the voters for their NOT using the old grey matter.
